Detroit has a very underrated talent in both Ansah and Taylor.

Ansah had 25 sacks the past two years. 14.5 last year, and Taylor had 7. Taylor has been improving.

Plus Ansah is a turnover machine. 9 forced fumbles the past 3 years with even limited playing time. Dunlap has had 8 in that time span.


Then throw in Oakland. They have Mack and my word is he amazing. I like Ward, but he's a rookie. He's going to be tough to decide, but Mack is arguably the best pass rusher in the league.

Also, throw in Houston. Mercilus is probably the most underrated DE (granted a 3-4 OLB or whatever). And Clowney, although he was hyped to be a pass rusher, is actually amazing against the run. But not many people notice that.

It's hard to grade our DEs because they're also going up against OLBs that specialize in pass rushing and even pass coverage.
